OMG, THE NOOSE IS STILL TIGHTENING!!! I thought it had stopped tightening after our widely advertised massive spring operation in the border regions turned oyt to be a totally keystone cops fuck up on the part of the Pakistanis that we pretty much took no part in. I'm relieved to find the noose still tightening, and I'm very pleased to see we have not lost faith in our Pakistani allies just becuase they have no real intention of helping us catch Bin Laden. |

Pakistanis close to Bin Laden-- Daily Times http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default...5-7-2004_pg7_5 Pakistanis sneak up to Bin Laden By Khalid Hasan WASHINGTON: CIA-sponsored Pakistani agents have infiltrated the outer core of Al Qaeda in the high-gear American effort to grab Osama bin Laden. The Pakistani agents, who are joined by Afghans and Uzbeks, are “beyond foot soldiers but not in the inner circle.” These agents “are more senior than the agents (the United States had) three years ago, who were on the periphery,” a senior intelligence official told Washington Post, according to a report published Saturday. US intelligence believes that Al Qaeda today has a far less capable team than it had before the 9/11 attacks. However, Al Qaeda would “still want to continue to attack us in the ways they did three years ago,” the official said. According to a CIA official, “We have busted plots repeatedly” undertaken by “serious Al Qaeda players” involving both aircraft and ships, some in Northeast Asia, others in Southeast Asia. He said intelligence on the possibility of other attacks had recently been strong. “I wouldn’t characterise what we have now as chatter. I think we have some fairly specific information that Al Qaeda wants to come after us,” he added. ### |
